Throwback Thursday: My vintage girl

My grandmother was a fashionista. She had her hair done every week and had beautiful shoes and matching handbags. On one visit to her house, the teen fashionista and I stumbled upon a big bin of shift dresses and other fun stuff from the 50s and 60s. And a vintage girl was born.

Since then Abigail and I have been building up her vintage wardrobe. Here are two recent photos of Abigail in her throwback lovelies.

 This photos was taken on the steps inside the Music/Arts Institute, which is housed in an old elementary school that will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
